We are happy with a stage of a minimal 3 to 4 meters in size and suitable mood lighting during our performance should you have the ability to organize this, but it is not necessary.We easily fit in a nice corner of the room on ground level as long as there is electricity available.

La Clé de Soul & friends perform a standard of three sets of each 45-50 minutes within a compact timeframe of 4 hours and with a 15 minute break in between the sets. During the break we provide for appropriate mood music from an iPod. We are happy to discuss with you, within certain boundaries, different options in length of the sets, breaks or performance in general according to your desires.

Food and beverages for the band members before, during and after the performance is provided by you.

We adjust our dress code to the required ambiance of the event. Always stylish and representative, occassionally more casual or in line with the theme of the event and sometimes tres chique in tuxedo and long dress. We'd love to hear what your desired dress code for the band is.
